I’m sorry but I’m tired of these TSA and DHS fluff stories that try to make out like they stopped some terror attack.

This just doesn’t appear to be the case, AGAIN!. The article starts out by saying “nobody knows what really happened last night” but they (he) proceeds then to give it all he’s got.

It then went from “Destructive” device(s) to A device that “could be destructive, in nature” according to some LEO.

Our government lies to us. Our media lies to us. The DHS and the TSA have never stopped anything beforehand; it is always after the fact when the act does not succeed on the part of the perpetrator. Their main business is lying and harassment of citizens.

A ball-peen hammer is a “destructive device”...

Hmmm. Thanks for posting. I think I was right! This name is not Chechen but probably Bosnian of some kind (possibly Serbian). But it sounds as if this was a hoax and just that this guy got mad at being asked to open his bag and said something stupid.

As for the other one, I don’t know.

Most times when it is kept under raps, it’s because someone was Saudi. If this be the case they will give them a private jet and fly them out of the country and blame it on a homeless person.

Potentially destructive could be a large box of matches or a jumbo pack of incense....I have no faith or trust in this government, especially TSA or DHS.

They are calling it a hoax this morning on local Jax media.

Not Chechen but Albanian, or somewhere else in the Balkans.

Maybe a trial run by some terrorist wanna-bes?

A ball-point pen can be an even MORE destructive device...

I haven’t seen or heard anything more than it was a hoax.

The one name in the story seems to be a common Bosnian name.

Just another Chechen the NSA ignored. Nothing to see. Move along.

You do know that Chechens, Albanians, and Bosnians are largely muslims, right?
